Pat Cummins backs medical care call for jailed Imran Khan
Pat Cummins supported calls for proper medical care for jailed former Pakistan captain Imran Khan, becoming the first active captain to back the campaign.
Australia captain Pat Cummins has joined former international captains in calling for jailed Pakistan legend Imran Khan to receive proper medical treatment. Cummins stated that Khan should be treated with dignity. The 73-year-old has been imprisoned since 2023 after conviction on corruption charges.
Twenty-two former captains had previously written to Pakistan's prime minister requesting independent medical assessments and continued family access for Khan. Cummins became the first active international captain to publicly support the campaign after viewing a video from The Grade Cricketer featuring former Australia captain Greg Chappell.
Khan recently underwent a medical examination in Islamabad before returning to prison in Rawalpindi.
